When an infestation occurs in the home, it can be very stressful and time consuming to try and solve the problem alone. In a lot of cases your efforts can be in vein and can result in spreading the infestation around your property. Steam cleaning, vacuuming, heating, freezing, washing, and throwing out items are effective physical methods of controlling bed bugs. However, bed bugs prefer to hide in cracks and crevices during the daytime and come out to feed on the host’s blood at night, usually while the host is sleeping.

Bedbugs prefer human blood, but will feed on other mammals if necessary. They are attracted by carbon dioxide in the air and to body heat , which is how they find their host. Bedbug bites be found on the shoulders and arms.
While feeding, the bedbug’s feeding organ moves forward and downward to pierce the human skin. Saliva is then injected, which causes the allergic reaction in some people. It can take around five to 10 minutes for a bed bug to feed. They change from light brown to rust-red as they engorge with blood.
